I don't want to go to the south. The only thing I drink at restaurants is tea, and I'm not sure if you can get tea that isn't sweet there.

[Anonymous No.5519739]

>>5519734

Oh, you can. If there's sweet tea then there's unsweet tea. Naturally, sweet is more popular, but LOTS of people drink unsweet in the south. I'd say the preference is like...70-30.

[Anonymous No.5519742]

>>5519734

You can. It's very common in the south for unsweet tea to be available from restaurants. But you need to say "unsweet tea". It'll be sweet by default if you don't specify.

Howver, if you're attending a dinner party or something, the tea will likely be sweet and you'll just have to drink water or suck on ice cubes.

[Anonymous No.5519819]

>>5519776

The idea behind southern food is to take the freshest vegeatables imaginable and then stew, fry, mix, or grill them.

Fresh corn? That is getting grilled with some smoked paprika and garlic butter.

Potatoes? Either they are straight-up baked and served as they are or turned into thinly sliced fried taders with onions.

Greens? Green beans? Slow-cooked with some kinda meat, like country ham or bacon.

Okra? Fried, straight-up.

Black-eyed peas? Same as greens or green beans.

[Anonymous No.5519826]

>freshest vegetables imaginable

No way man. I've been all around the South and they rarely place a high priority of freshly sourced local ingredients.

[Anonymous No.5519828]

>>5519826

As a southerner, I disagree. Half the adults I know grow their own gardens.

I live right across from a man with his own enormous corn field and I get tons of stuff from him every year.

I can't drive into town this time of year without someone on the side of the road with a stand reading 'FRESH GARDEN VEGETABLES'.

I get nothing but the fresh stuff, baby.

What type of vegetables do you usually come across?

[Anonymous No.5519845]

>>5519779
I think it wouldn't be too bad if you were visiting.

I grew up there. I went to school with kids that were a mix of wigger and redneck. Half of them chewed tobacco all day and spit that shit everywhere. They all drove shitty trucks with big tires and country music about trucks could be heard across campus coming from their 1000w stereos.

It's been almost 10 years since I graduated from high school and I still feel the rage against it.

[Anonymous No.5519854]

>>5519834

Tomatoes are the most common thing around...but they're technically fruits, so whatever. Everyone with a garden grows tomatoes, and everyone around here always wants fresh tomatoes.

Apart from that? Green beans, potatoes, greens, corn, and okra. Those are the most common things.

Corn is typically in very high demand since it's just plain hard to grow though. Not as many people grow it, but the ones that do grow it do in very large supply.

Below that is the tier of vegetables that folks around here like but don't often grow. Broccoli, asparagus, that kinda thing.

But yeah, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, greens, and green beans are the big sellers around here. Okra is sorta mid-tier.

Making homemade biscuits and gravy, homefries, bacon, and eggs is my go to Sunday ritual.

Diabetes on a plate.
I can handle fried chicken and corn bread.
But fucking fatty buttery biscuits that are covered in fat chicken gravy is unforgivable. How can someone eat that, let alone consider it an actual meal in itself? I feel like a southern dish would be something like half a loaf of white bread and a bowl of milk, and you dip the slices of white bread into the milk and eat it and that's an entree. Or something like miniature sticks of butter that you pick up with hot pancakes and then you eat sticks of butter wrapped with individual pancakes.
Southern cuisine is honestly terrible. Its what happens to food when you give way to portion control, manners, and embrace decadence and degeneracy, eating purely for gluttonous and libertine purposes by indulging only taste.

[Anonymous No.5519952]

>Chicken gravy

That is sausage gravy, thank you very much. I eat pretty healthy the whole week, so my Sunday morning breakfast is kid of a treat to myself. I don't get to bake as often as I would like, so even just baking some biscuits for myself is nice. And the last time I had some friends staying for the weekend, it felt nice to serve a breakfast where everything was made by scratch, and something that isn't served every day.

Sausage gravy? Even worse. What you're doing is effectively no better than eating a loaf of bread that has liquid lard poured over it. Only the american south could call this "cuisine" with a straight face. There is no finesse. Your whole idea of cooking is either to fry shit and not let the food speak for itself, or turn it into something that tastes like butter and sugar. Its absolutely nasty.

When I went to Las Vegas last year, every breakfast buffet had this, and it always looked like shit. Strange thing was, everybody fucking ate it.

I mean some of your guys' food was really fucking good (chicken and waffles esp), but I could not even force myself to try biscuits and gravy. Even biscuits on their own I just found way too greasy.

I recognised after the second day that the breakfast buffets are largely shit, and I just ended up going to Mcdonalds or Hash House (where I had the chicken and waffles).

The Dennys was the fucking worst though. The meal was shittier than the breakfast buffet, and the service was lousy. A friend of mine ordered some nachos (bad call, I know), and they were just chips with orange and white goo on top. He had like 3 and said "fuck it".

I mean I love Americans and your country is beautiful, but your food is fucking terrible for the most part. I'm sure I'm just jumping the gun and there really are great places to eat, but Las Vegas doesn't appear to offer great places.

i've never understood chicken and waffles. Two things that are great on their own and have lots of great pairing but turn to complete shit when put together. The only thing i want with my waffle is a fried egg on top, some maple syrup, and bacon, sausage, or country ham and a glass of milk.

Vegas is like a cheap photo copy of the highlights of America. I hate to be the guy that breaks this regional jingoistic circle jerk, but go to New York or California for great upscale dining, go to Texas for great barbecue and Tex-Mex, go to the South for good traditional meals, go to Louisiana for great cajun/creole. Almost every state has a highlight, but nowadays you need to search out those local places. Hell, I hate breakfast buffets, but I found a local place in Shiner, Texas that had an amazing German based breakfast buffet.

There are plenty of high end restaurants in Vegas. If you ever go there again, do a little research on which restaurants are good.

Some buffets are actually quite nice if you go to the high end hotels.

But yeah, I'm not surprised by your reaction. Eating near the strip at shitty chains and shit tier hotel buffets is not gonna be good.

U kno u want this sandwich so bad rite now.
It's ok, I know you do. I want it too. But we can't always have what we want, can we? The only place near here with one is closed and it'll be 12 hours before I can get one, but you might not have any place close to you to get one. That's ok. It will be alright because you can make one at home. See? I told you it would be alright so hush and don't worry. No crying anymore. Cry baby's don't get these sandwiches..

The vegetables at southern food places are some of the best things to order. Of course, it varies, and not all southern food restaurants will have great veg, but most of them will. One of my favorite southern food restaurants has a massive vegetable list, and I used to just get a 5-vegetable plate because I could never decide on just two to go with an entree. Here's the list: (and yes, I realize the irony of rice and mac and cheese being listed under vegetables, but hey...)
RED BEANS AND RICE

SPANISH RICE
GREEN BEANS

I do mine a little different. I make blueberry and strawberry biscuits, I make the gravy from scratch using great-grandma's recipe, and I add in sausage, egg, peppers, and maple syrup with a bit of honey and some bacon bits.

On the side I put homemade chicken strips for dipping in the gravy or I might do a steak. Pork steak is really good in the morning with gravy biscuit.
